On the Convergence of an Opinion-Action Coevolution Model with Bounded Confidence
Chen Song, Angela Fontan, Rong Su +3
This paper presents a theoretical convergence analysis for an opinion-action coevolution model that integrates the opinion updating rule of the Hegselmann-Krause model with a utili…
2-D Directed Formation Control Based on Bipolar Coordinates
Farhad Mehdifar, Charalampos P. Bechlioulis, Julien M. Hendrickx +1
This work proposes a novel 2-D formation control scheme for acyclic triangulated directed graphs (a class of minimally acyclic persistent graphs) based on bipolar coordinates with…
Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Continuous-Time Weighted-Median Opinion Dynamics
Yi Han, Julien M. Hendrickx, Ge Chen +1
Simple yet predictive mathematical models are essential for mechanistic understanding of opinion evolution in social groups. The weighted-median mechanism has recently been propose…
Exploiting Agent Symmetries for Performance Analysis of Distributed Optimization Methods
Sebastien Colla, Julien M. Hendrickx
We show that, in many settings, the worst-case performance of a distributed optimization algorithm is independent of the number of agents in the system, and can thus be computed in…
